Hey everyone hope you're all staying safe!
With all the extra time spent indoors due to the virus we've all come to hate, I've managed to put all that time into fast tracking my latest game.
It's a word search game where you have to find as many words before the time runs out. The more words you find, the more time is added to the timer.
You can find the Android and iOS links on my website
There are some other titles of mine on there if interested in more free games.
Hope you all enjoy it!
What do you do to ensure data privacy, with regards to your promise to not tell anyone about bomb use?
Even though I know this is a joke, a good one at that, I do not collect/store any personally identifiable data. I use Unity Analytics to track games played, best scores, and a range of other variables to help me get a better idea for how the game is tracking.
The ad system does use your devices advertising identifier to get a better understanding of what ads it should display for you. You can opt out of this from the ads display window.
With the new privacy rules coming into place with the next Apple operating system, developers will need to request permission via the OS before using this. I assume that moat people will not consent to this, which as a gamer myself, I completely understand. But as a small indie games developer, with little to no revenue being generated on ads as it is, this will essentially make revenue non existent for me due to how the advertising system works.
Luckily I do this as a hobby and enjoy the challenge of making games. For others, it’s going to be a challenge.
Going back to your question though. You have my word, no one will know but me.
How'd you like a https://lottiefiles.com/ animated version of your logo, for the intro screen of your apps. I'd love to be able to say I made some motion graphics that made it into an app in the App Store and Play Store.
I have seen this file type used for animation recently. It looks like an interesting way to export animations.
Unfortunately with the Unity engine it only allows a static image to be used for the initial logo presentations, and I am unsure how lotties would import/play in the engine.
I used to animate a basic version myself in After Effects and play that video instead, but transitioned to the boring static style over time.
I’d be interested to see your take on it regardless, and could try add it somehow in a later update If that is possible. Also happy to credit you!
Either way, thank you for the offer!
Thanks OP, pretty addicted.
Though it didn’t accept the word ECHIDNA…
Thank you. Glad you’re enjoying it.
I have found a few words are missing due to it being a cut back (no abbreviations, etc) open sourced dictionary. Licensed dictionaries cost a fair bit to use commercially. I’m hoping it won’t impact the game too much.
Understandable! It doesn’t really. I’m usually pretty bad at these things. I can always only find 4 letters so I was super proud of echidna haha, but the fact I found it was enough!
Thought I'd post an update in the comments to let people know I have ported this game to PC via the Microsoft Store.
Enjoy!
Cheers. Will check it out.
Your friends 5* reviews on play store are a nice touch.
